Bach composed this piece around 1725 at the beginning of his Leipzig years. The character of the Fantasie is serious and grave; even in the interludes a contemplative mood prevails. Its concerto form is strictly symmetrical: the main theme appears four times with three interludes between. The four-part double Fugue exemplifies Bach's superior contrapuntal craftsmanship as he combines two contrasting themes---one that's diatonic, rhythmic and agile, and another that consists of a descending chromatic line.

Fiery and dramatic from start to finish, this arrangement makes a terrific program opener or closer.

The arrangement of Sevilla by Isaac Albéniz is notated one whole tone lower than the original version. It can be performed as a quintet but also in a choral/orchestral instrumentation. In the latter case, the middle part with the soprano saxophone solo is recommended to be executed by five soloists. For saxophone quintet (SAATB).
